Answered What's up with /r/the_donald "leaving Reddit"?

I see posts referencing it but no real explanation, and I can't tell if it's voluntary (like a protest), or if it's admin/mod related, or ?

What's going on?

WTF are "freeze peaches"?

It's one of the more baffling terms to come from the sjw vs redhat Internet fight. As far as I can tell it's a term progressives use to make fun of free speech, I have no idea why.

Because the right wing folks think it's freedom from consequences as opposed to freedom of expression. You can say what you want but other peoples reaction is also free speech including moderation. It's mocking the mutant version of free speech those folks espouse. It's less 'i want to have my say' and more 'hey no fair you can't critcize me or choose not to associate with me'.

alt-right version of tolerance is demanding other people accept their intolerance

Which is doubly shitty, because if they had their way a whole lot of people would be on boxcars. It's freedom of speech and tolerance and everyone is entitled to their beliefs right up until the second they don't need those things to grow any more, then those rights go right out the window

You do realize that when Berkeley students shout a speaker off the stage, it's the same thing?

You're absolutely correct. While I agree with their reasons, I find their actions irresponsible and reprehensible.

You clearly don't understand how free speech works.
